In 1869, La Grenouillere mesmerized viewers with its vibrant depiction of a harbor scene on canvas.

Transportation also takes center stage as we witness the birth of innovation in Atmospheric Railway at Star Cross from 1848. This watercolor painting depicts an ambitious railway project set against the backdrop of a charming harbor town. Penryn, Flushing, and Falmouth Harbours come alive through colored lithography on paper from c. 1860-80. This artwork invites us to explore these interconnected harbors along the Old Helton Road.
